Request to adhere to semantic versioning

[aral]

May I please request that htmx releases (including extensions) adhere to semantic versioning?

I noticed, for example, that from 1.8.0 to 1.8.5, the ws-send event became ws-after-send in the ws extension with only a patch version bump in htmx. Since this is a breaking change, it really should have been a 2.x release.

I realise there is a 2.x release in the works. Perhaps that would be a good time to start implementing semantic versioning?

This is not a huge issue for me at the moment but it will be after Kitten hits 1.0. As Kitten servers include automatic updates, I’m already versioning the libraries Kitten supports natively (currently htmx and Alpine.js) but that’s not going to help if patch and minor versions introduce breaking changes.

I’m an idiot: I’d implemented the wsSend event myself in my own fork of the htmx ws extension. Please ignore/feel free to delete this :)
